On the TV, the media are talking about your friends the same way they talk about Ted Bundy or Charles Manson. Investigative specials are tossing out details about your friend's childhood like some kind of Twilight-Zone-tinged episode of This Is Your Life. When your mind tries to take it in and make sense of it all, you realize that you can't. Hell, you can't even ask your friend for an explanation. Because he put a bullet in his brain right after he did it.
